Lemont right of way bonds.
$500 flat.

A contractor doing recurring work in Lemont’s public right of way — utility, excavation, or paving cuts — can file one $50,000 blanket bond instead of a separate bond for every individual permit. Ours is $500 flat — the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. The application collects no credit information.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Village of Lemont conditions individual right-of-way permits on a surety filing, but lets a contractor with repeated right-of-way work — utility crews, paving contractors, excavators — file one $50,000 blanket bond that covers permits issued during the bond term instead of bonding each cut or excavation separately.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lemont (the obligee). The bond guarantees permitted right-of-way work is restored to village standards — pavement, curb, and parkway repaired properly — so the Village isn’t left absorbing restoration costs.

It is not insurance for you. If the Village makes a valid claim for unrestored right-of-way work and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Keeping the blanket bond continuous lets you pull right-of-way permits without a new bond filing each time.

Village of Lemont Community Development DepartmentThe Village of Lemont’s Community Development Department administers right-of-way permits and offers a $50,000 blanket bond option for contractors with recurring right-of-way work, in place of bonding each permit individually. Lemont’s Unified Development Ordinance is hosted on Municode and is not reachable by automated fetch to confirm a citable section number; confirm current terms with Community Development before filing.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Lemont blanket right of way permit bond?The premium is $500, flat — the price you see at checkout is the price you pay, the same for every applicant. The $50,000 amount is set by the Village of Lemont; the premium is set by our carrier’s rate book, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $50,000?No. You pay $500. The $50,000 is the surety’s maximum liability to the Village of Lemont if a valid claim is made — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Blanket bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many applicants finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — most applications like this approve instantly. If a check ever runs on a bond like this, it’s a soft pull that never affects your score.
Do I still need to file for each right-of-way permit?You still apply for each individual right-of-way permit with the Village — the blanket bond means you don’t file a new bond every time. One filing covers permits issued during the bond term.
